Topic: Will the US Open be a bust? (Read 9874 times)

I hope it is not a bust! I am hoping for another sweet slam! This one will have Fed fans and Nadal fans on the edge of their seat for various reasons, so it will be telling. I predict Ivo will win it all!

That gets at the crux of this. Should they crash out early, say SF or earlier, then what????

As for Karlovic, I'd be careful projecting best of 3 set results onto best of 5.

Ivo has a habit. He plays well in the warm up tournament before a slam... then bums out in the first round of the slam... Look for that to continue at the US Open.

I hope none of the top 3 win it or get to the final; there I said it. I'm on Rafa-overdrive. I'm a huge fan of his and want the best for him, but the ATP tour has turned from the Federer Express to the Rafa Airbus.

I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, "You're gonna have to move, you're blocking a fire exit." As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammible and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. - Mitch Hedberg

Oh wow... I can see you making this statement seeing as though the top 3 does not include... Roddick, Gasquet...or other favorites

Looking at those between 4-10: Ferru, Davydenko, Roddick, Nalbandian, Blake and Wawrinka are way out of form. That leaves Murray, but I can't see him beating Rafa unless Rafa is injured, though if he's on the other side of the draw, he could make it, but it would be a big surprise. Looking at 11-20: So, if anybody is going to break up the big 3, it'll be Murray or somebody lower-ranked on an awesome Tsonga-like week, but they seem to happen more in Australia. I'd love to see Murray do it, but that's extremely wishful thinking, so I'm going with 2 of the big 3.

That's what I was thinking when I set up the poll, hence my "at least 1 player between 4-10" vote The rest are doo-doo

2 out the top 3 for me, though this year it's nowhere near a sure bet.

Would love to see Roger and Rafa duking it out again!

How can the U.S. Open be a bust if you're gonna be there Brah?

Rafa will have top spot in the draw,i dont think Roger will make the final.I think bottom Half is harder to come through most times.Roger will have Djokovic in his section.This is if the draws done how i think & fair.Im going to be watching the draw here.

Right... who is to say that Djokovic won't be drawn in the 'top' half with Rafa?! Like Babbs says, it's just a 50-50 shot either way. And remember, this is a grand slam. As "poorly" has Roger has been playing this year, he still has that SF streak of 17 in grand slams...and 11 out of the last 12 grand slam finals... so until he proves me wrong with getting to the finals again... I would still bet that he would reach the finals. It's different when you have to beat him in 5 sets vs only 3.
